The House
Framework/rough draft
Here’s the idea: A couple from New York City rents a vacation house in upstate New York but it’s haunted (they didn’t know it at the time, duh), and that’s why they got it for such a good price. They travel by car to the estate and notice that the landscape is bleak. Ex. Dead trees, clouds, barren patches of land. When the couple pulls up into the driveway, the house looked older than it did in the brochure. It was slightly dilapidated, and had an eerie feel to it, but they weren’t about to go home because the house wasn’t in the best possible condition. When the couple steps into the house, they notice that its very creaky, and it has a strange odor coming from the 2nd floor. The couple decides to not go up there, and they explored the first floor. The kitchen is ok, and the other rooms seem fine too. After the couple un-packed, it was getting late so they decided to go to sleep.
The couple was awakened around 2Am by a male screaming from the attic. Then there was a series of thumping, as if something was rolling down the attic steps. Next, The couple hears a growl, and they decide to investigate……..
The couple creeps up the creaky stairs, and turn the corner to face the hallway the has the attic stairs at the end of them. They let their eyes adjust to the darkness, and then they see 2 dark forms. One of the forms is on the ground, the other is hunched over him. He was dead, and had the expression on his face that a ghost had killed him. Maybe one did. The 2nd figure raises it’s head to look at the couple. They can’t get their eyes off of the creature. He was 6 ft. tall, dressed in a black robe, and had a rusty axe in one hand. He slowly rises, and that was when he screeched again, and raced towards the couple. They turn the corner, and were so scared that they didn’t bother using the stair steps. They just jumped. After reaching the ground, they scrambled out the front door, and they shove an old chair up against the doorknob. A couple of seconds later, they hear the creature trying to get out the door to chase them, so they ran down to the driveway, started up the car, and floored it.
After about 10 minutes of driving, the couple noticed something moving in the review mirror...
2 days later, police found a car parked on the side of an abandoned road. Blood covered the interior of the vehicle, and there was a hatchet in the backseat. A young couple was found murdered. There was no sign of a struggle. Police were never able to identify a suspect.
